Kōan (康安?) was a Japanese era name (年号, nengō, lit. year name) of the Northern Court during the Nanboku-chō period after Enbun and before Jōji. The period started in March 1361 and ended in September 1362.[1] During this time, the pretender in Kyoto was Go-Kōgon-tennō (後光厳天皇?).[2] Go-Kōgon's Southern Court rival in Yoshino during this time was Go-Murakami-tennō (後村上天皇?).[3]
